The Canucks are off a come-from-behind shoot-out victory last night, and now travel to Edmonton to meet the Oilers today. It appears that 2nd stringer Spencer Martin will be back in the net with no viable option as a replacement. The Canucks will be a tired team, no doubt looking ahead to the break. The Oilers are just 1-4 lately with five straight games going over the total. Their top two stars usually excel vs the Canucks. The Canucks' defense and penalty kill are among the league's worst, but they can put the puck in the net. The Oilers are no great shakes on defense either, but do sport the 3rd best offense and the league's top power play.
Vancouver has been very good on the road recently, but offense and goal tending will let them down tonight. Vancouver has lost five straight against the Oilers. Take this game to go over the total.
